Easy vegan stir fried vermicelli noodles for the whole family, so healthy and tasty!
Looking for an easy and satisfying meal for the busy midweek after work? Well, these simple vegan stir fried vermicelli noodles offer a delicious treat. Healthy and full of flavor, they make a perfect budget friendly dinner for the whole family.
The vermicelli noodle has a fine, delicate texture which goes well with thinly sliced vegetables. It comes in dry form available in most Asian supermarkets or even some major grocery chains. I always keep a packet handy because it is very versatile for a convenient meal like this one. It cooks in no time and has a long shelf life too.
The best part of this dish is that you could throw in any combination of vegetable ingredients and it still tastes good. I like adding shiitake mushrooms for the savory umami flavor, and I use tofu for the protein. The sesame seeds are there for an extra nutty flavor.
Hope you enjoy this easy vegan stir fried vermicelli noodles!
